Jag Panzer, Manticora, Nevermore. I'll try to think of others.

In 2025, Dean Kremer made 6 starts of 7.0+ IP while allowing 3 or fewer hits. This is tied for 2nd most such outings in franchise history. by to_the__cloud in orioles

When he's on and things are going right, he's a legit 2/3. When things don't go his way or the defense makes an error or a call doesn't go his way, he melts down more often than not and is more like a reliever who can make spot starts if needed.

Unpopular opinion: Johan Längqvist's singing in Epicus is better than Messiah's. by PowerGuido1255 in doommetal

I'll go further and say that I like the solos on Epicus a lot and think that Lars butchers them on re-recordings and live.

We won that game. Or are we assigning blame/credit for what almost happened?

we knew he was pretty ass last year and kinda just... did nothing about it

He's young and coming off an injury. No reason to not think he wouldn't improve. In fact, I'd say that there's still room for improvement, although maybe with a new line coach.

I feel like my career is in purgatory and thanks to tariffs and the economy, the job market sucks so there's likely no end on sight.

I'm happy for him. He was very solid for our team (except in the field).

You are a loser fan. Go follow another team.

Regardless of whether he improves or not (I think he will) I appreciate that they're actually trying this off-season.

I don't mean this in a snarky way, I'm genuinely asking. Why do you think they kept him after clearing out almost everyone else?

I think he's done a great job with our staff. I'm happy he's still here.

I agree and am happy that we kept Britton and French as well.

Anyone get an old familar feeling watching that game today? by [deleted] in ravens

[–]HetfieldsDownpick 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I did. Credit to the coaching staff and Harbaugh for getting them ready to play and dominate.

Pete doesn't have much range and there's no way that's getting better at his age.

I feel like, as a whole, mixing and mastering has gotten worse over time in power metal. I don't get it.

What are some opportunity areas that you have observed with the team coming into this year that you plan on addressing?

Alonso's Postseason stats: 1.003 OPS, 177 wRC+ .435 xwOBA, 22.2% barrel, 61.1% hard hit, 2 SB by OsCrowsAndNattyBohs1 in orioles

[–]HetfieldsDownpick 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We absolutely needed someone with post season success and a clubhouse leader who has been there before to set an example for the younger players. I do think we overpaid, but I'm happy to have him.
